Rental

The audio rental operation has been the premiere audio rental company in Iceland for almost a decade. A great importance is placed upon being able to offer top quality equipment from leading manufacturers. This has made it possible for promoters and conference organisers to produce large events without having to spend large amounts of money on air freight.

Exton Sound relies on Meyer Sound and Midas for the supply of key equipment.

The lighting operation handles a lot more than lighting. Available equipment includes staging from Litestructures, Martin and High End moving lights, ETC control and profile spots, MA Lighting control, Barco projectors, Extron processing and JVC cameras and processing. They have handled most of the large projects in Iceland for the last two decades.
